- "Gran Torino,"
- "Iron Man,"
- "Milk,"
- 'Wall-E,"
- "Wendy and Lucy," and
- "The Wrestler."
"Slumdog Millionaire," which has been racking up honors this awards season, was not on the list. One of AFI's criteria is that a film has "significant creative and/or production elements from the United States." |
I've have only seen three of those Top 10 (Dark Knight, Iron Man, Wall-E). Frost/Nixon I really REALLY want to see. I hate Gus Van Sandt so I pretty much refust to see Milk. And I know nothing of Frozen River, Gran Torino, and Wendy and Lucy.
Slumdog Millionaire was a fantastic movie that I
highly recommend. I thought that it was brilliantly directed, acted, and written. Though I'm not generally for major happy Hollywood pieces, I found myself truly cheering for the good guy in the end - Absolutely fascinating and ultimately charming movie.
Too bad they completely ignore horror. I think that Cloverfield belongs in that bunch.

Yeah, and let's not forget its predictable and insipid writing. bleach.
